RELEASE THE VIKINGS

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD

I would rather see fax in super league I think they would get bigger crowds than widnes

I expect that we will see Widnes get the nod for SL when the announcement is made as on the criteria that were required to be met they are ahead of the others.

The only way I could see them not doing is if they make a poor start to the season and at the time of the announcement they are down near the bottom of the league as that may tip the balance in Halifax's favour, as they have been consistently at the top end of the table whilst also making progress in terms of criteria to be met.

I do expect Widnes to get the provisionally guaranteed licence though.

The legaue season will only be three weeks old when the decision is made. Which means they will be kicking their heels for 17 league games which will mean absolutely nothing to them.

If it isn't Widnes, I think there might be a small tiff after the annoucement!

What are you smoking as when we was last in Superleague we got a few thousand more than Fax.That is a fact. Widnes will have a good season under Betts and our squad is assembled well for the Championship.If we dont get in this time we will never get in Superleague.

surely its one or the other !!!!

It isn't one or the other at all, it's only one! Widnes!

Widnes will probably get it. But the way some of their fans are acting you'd think they were already there.

It's very disappointing really. After all the hot air and positivity about the future Super League takes another step backwards and reintroduces one of it's previous failures. Widnes may be better run than they were when they went into administration the last time they were in SL, but it's nothing to shout about.

The sport has been run terribly ever since they took the bold step of introducing SL. Every decision made since then, bar Catalans inclusion but including Crusaders, has been woeful.

Once they announce Widnes are back in Super League (Woo hoo) are they then going to ensure the likes of Saints, Quins, Cas, Salford, Wakefield and Crusaders are going to leaving if they fail to get proper facilities or fan bases?

all those who say widnes will and are odds on to get the licencse, just remember the 2012 olympic games, who were favourites to get them, paris, yet were pipped at the post by london, stranger things have happened
